This movie is a must watch for anyone who loves the humor of Reno 911, The State, and B Horror Flicks. Leslie Bibb and Rob Corddry play well off each other. Lennon and Garant are hilarious as the Priests. Keegan Key is one funny, magically appearing mofo. And then there is some crazy old lady that I really just don't want to ever see again. Michael Ian Black and Kumail Nanjiani make great cameos, too. Nanjiani is the Pakistani one of the two. If you are fans of Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, then for all that is holy, buy, rent, steal but drop change behind...anything you can do to see this movie. If anything, it can at least be a visual manual on what to do the day your lady gets pregnant by the spawn of Satan. I wait-listed a ticket for this film at Sundance, knowing nothing about it. In line, I found out that it was a Thomas Lennon film. Awesome - huge fan. Starring Keegan Michael Key? You got me.
While there were lulls and dead spots, ultimately the movie was successful in making fun of common scary movie themes while simultaneously seeming original. It had me laughing much more often than it had me simply watching. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I will say that, aside the middle-aged woman sitting in front of me, the film had everyone engulfed and having fun.
I just found out the film got picked up, and I'm glad. It definitely deserves it. I just hope the suits don't cut out some of the more graphic scenes before its theatrical release.
Hilarious, gross, sexy, original, sometimes even genuinely scary, this film was nothing short of a quality horror film parody.
